MATCH: Scotland Women vs South Africa Women
DATE: October 09,Wednesday
TIME: 3:30 PM IST
VENUE: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai
TOURNAMENT: Women’s T20 World Cup 2024
Scotland Women (SCO-W) will lock horns with South Africa Women (SA-W) in Match No. 11 of the ongoing Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on October 9.
The Kathryn Bryce-led side has had a disappointing campaign so far, as they have still not managed to secure their first win and are languishing at the bottom of the table. In both the games played so far, the Scottish side struggled to get things going. Losing the first two games has slimmed their chances of qualifying for the next stage. In the upcoming game, the side needs to come up with something new to bag those two crucial points.
On the other hand, Proteas women have had a start-stop journey so far. In their opening game against West Indies Women, the side came on top and won the game comfortably by 10 wickets. But in their last game against England Women, the side suffered a seven-wicket defeat which has placed them in the third position on the points table. The upcoming game will be crucial for them to make their qualification to the next stage smoother.
Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The surface at the Dubai International Stadium has not been good for the batters. It would be crucial for the teams to score as many runs without losing early wickets in the powerplay. Scoring runs is going to be a tough task on this pitch. Winning the toss and choosing to bowl first will be a plus point for the teams.

Probable Top Performers from SCO-W vs SA-W
Probable Best Batter: Laura Wolvaardt
South Africa Women’s skipper Laura Wolvaardt could be the probable best batter in the upcoming game against Scotland Women. The opening batter has had a great start to the World Cup as she is coming off two back-to-back solid scores. In the opening game against West Indies Women, she smashed a match-winning 59*, and in the last game, she scored 42 runs against England Women in a losing cause. Being the highest run-getter of the tournament, the 25-year-old will once again look to give her team a solid start in the coming match.
Probable Best Bowler: Nonkululeko Mlaba
South Africa Women’s spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba could be the best bowler in her side’s forthcoming game against the Scottish side. The left-arm spinner has picked five wickets in two games so far at an economy of 6.37 and is currently the highest wicket-taker of the campaign. Mlaba will be high on confidence and will let her bowling do all the talking.
